It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. Apple haters used to laugh at this..."Eject by dragging to the Trash? And you say the Mac is intuitive? Ha ha ha..." And they were right. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense.
The great thing about all the newer ways is that they are easily discoverable, you don't have to remember or figure out that you have to virtually trash your disk. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight.

I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems.  I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done.  Just seems stupid to me I guess.  I've seen that mounted installer confuse people into clicking on it each and every time they want to start the app because they don't understand that once it's installed, that installer should be ejected because they're done with it.
I agree about the installer volume behavior...and Apple made it worse in Mountain Lion by putting the volumes on the bottom of the Finder sidebar, which is often out of view. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do.
The "installer problem" is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. To eject multiple volumes by selecting them and pressing Command-E is much faster than the time taken to gather them up with the mouse and drag all of them to a specific spatial target.

    Not very helpful. Micron / Crucial makes maybe 2000 RAM types. If all you have is the RAM and the label you may be thin on luck.

    Light alcohol cleaners, like what you use for camers lenses, works.  Just do not have the soft cloth cleaning pad dripping wet ... dripping wet will allow fluid to get onto internal components.

  • How to enable automatic punctuation on a new MacBook Pro with retina?

    Can you tell me how to enable automatic punctuation on a new MacBook Pro with retina? Thanks

    In which application?  (There is no system wide punctuation.) 
    And how is the computer supposed to know what is the correct punctuation?  For example "Let's eat, Mom!" versus "Let's eat Mom!"  (Sort of depends upon whether your computer has weathered the zombie apocalypse, I guess.)

  • What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

    AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
    However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

  • How do I find the wattage for my MacBook Pro mid-2009

    I am thinking about purchasing a ChugPlug for my MacBook Pro. The suppliers, Lenmar tell me that it will work on any 13" MacBook Pro as long as it is a 45 or 60 watt MacBook.

  • How do I find the age of my macbook pro?

    I want to update from snow leopard 10.6.8 but the app store won't let me purchase mountain lion.  I'm not sure how old my macbook pro is, how do I find out?  Would there be any other reason why the app store is telling me my computer is not compatible with mountain lion?

    If it won't then it has already determined your machine is too old for Mnt Lion, in fact it's likely too old for 10.7 Lion too.
    Your best option is to stay on 10.6.8 and save your pennies for a new 10.8 hardware coming out next release cycle or when that 10.6.8 machine dies.
    10.7 was Apple's "Vista" anyway, you don't want it nor 10.8 that won't run your presently installed PPC based software and drivers for hardware.
    I'm not sure how old my macbook pro is, how do I find out?
    Apple Menu > About this Mac > more information and scroll down until you get a model like MacBook Pro 3,1.
    Next download the free MacTracker and search for your model.

    You might not have enough RAM installed on the machine and thus don't meet the specifcations for 10.7 or 10.8 on that.
    The same process abouve will tell you the RAM (aka memory) amount) or you can use Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder.
    Word is 10.7 and 10.8 like 4GB of RAM, despite Apple saying it can do with 2GB.
    You don't need Lion to upgrade to Mnt Lion, Snow Leopard to Mtn Lion upgrades can accur no problem.

  • How to Lock the Screen on a MacBook Pro with Retina

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to know how to do something to my computer so that the next time I want to get on, I need to enter in a password (I believe that it is called locking).
    On a normal MacBook Pro, I believe that simply closing the screen works, but it doesn't work on my Retina display MacBook Pro.
    Do you have any advice for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    System Preferences -> Security -> General
    Select Require password after wake from sleep, set desired time.

    I know that if the buy option says I stock you can pick it up from the store. But has anyone bought the new. MacBook pro retina display instores??
    I going to buy one very soon, and I'm confused why the apple website says shipping is 3-4 weeks. Is that only for customizations??

    MacMall (online) has the base model in stock, I believe. And various users around here have found the in Apple Stores, at Best Buy, etc. Amazon also had some in stock the last time I looked.

    You will need to invest in an external dvd drive if you have Windows on a dvd. A usb stick can be used if you are downloading Windows. You will also need to save the Windows Support software to the usb stick. Read the help files.
